Solid Consumer churn at 15.1% demonstrating ongoing member loyalty and value in the face of higher pricing to help offset inflationary costs.
Overall Membership Services members of 12.1 million stable in the first six months adding 20,000 net new members in Consumer since the year-end and retaining all our key partners in Business.
Dave Hobday, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“As we celebrate our 125th anniversary I am proud that we have achieved another period of positive EBITDA growth despite the challenging macro-economic environment.
This performance demonstrates our ongoing relevance to our very loyal member base, underpinned by our subscription-based business model, and of course the passion and commitment of our 4,000 incredible #OrangeHeroes – my thanks to them all.
We have made significant progress in the first six months of the year in delivering our strategy against the backdrop of an increasingly tough economic environment, and our strong capital position allows continued investment to sustain our growth and accelerate our progress towards our vision of becoming the UK’s #1 for Driving Services.”
